GRAPEFRUIT ESSENTIAL OIL - EssTrac® GRAPEFRUIT P OE

Pomelo Peel Essential Oil is obtained through the distillation of pomelo peels. It is characterized by a slightly bitter note and a pleasant, sweet citrus aroma. Studies investigating the antimicrobial activity of pomelo peel essential oil using the agar diffusion method have highlighted its potential biological properties, which may be associated with its major constituents, including limonene, β-phellandrene, and γ-terpinene.

Laboratory studies have reported that Pomelo Peel Essential Oil exhibits inhibitory activity against several bacterial strains, with decreasing levels of activity observed against Shigella flexneri, attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Proteus vulgaris. These findings suggest its potential antimicrobial properties and possible applications in personal care formulations.

In addition to its potential antimicrobial activity, Pomelo Peel Essential Oil has traditionally been used in hair care to promote stronger, healthier-looking hair. With limonene reportedly accounting for over 80% of its composition, the essential oil has attracted interest for its potential applications in scalp care and hair growth support. However, further scientific research is needed to confirm its direct effects on hair growth.

With its distinctive citrus aroma and promising biological properties, Pomelo Peel Essential Oil is a valuable natural ingredient for developing hair and scalp care products.
